Art World Refuses to Hibernate: Fall’s Global Fair Frenzy
Just as autumn leaves start to fall, the art world launches into its busiest stretch, with galleries and auction houses from Seoul to Miami buzzing with activity. September kicks off at a sprint: Frieze Seoul and KIAF draw crowds in Gangnam, while New York’s Armory Show and VOLTA set the city abuzz. Berlin, Vienna, and Rio each add their own flair, ensuring no continent is left out of the creative whirlwind.
Meanwhile, the auction circuit heats up with treasures like Monet’s luminous water lilies in Hong Kong and rare tech artifacts from Paul Allen’s collection at Christie’s. October and November keep the momentum, as London’s Frieze Week, Paris’s Grand Palais, and Shanghai’s twin fairs offer a dizzying array of contemporary masterpieces and historic gems.
By December, the action migrates to Miami, where the art world’s marathon finds its tropical finale. In this calendar, there’s no such thing as a quiet season—just a global relay of color, culture, and commerce.
